CSIC Norte sphere, con C de Ciencia, chambers of commerce and cooperation is an open space for innovation, research, technology transfer, scientific dissemination and productive sector between the CSIC centers in northern Spain, coordinated by the CSIC Delegation in Asturias and the Official Chamber of Commerce of Oviedo in which different associations and centers in northern Spain participate:
- Galicia: Biological Mission of Galicia (MBG), Institute of Galician Studies “Padre Sarmiento” (IEGPS), Institute of Marine Research (IIM), Institute of Agrobiological Research of Galicia (IIAG) and the Institute of Heritage Sciences (Incipit).
- Asturias: National Coal Institute (INCAR), Dairy Products Institute (IPLA), Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Research Center (CINN), Mixed Biodivesity Research Unit (UMIB)
- Cantabria: Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria (IBBTEC), Institute of Physics of Cantabria (IFCA)
- Basque Country: Materials Physics Center (CFM), Instituto Biophisika (IBF)
In addition, it has the collaboration of the Chambers of Commerce of La Coruña, Pontevedra, Vigo, García de Arousa, Santander, Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés, Bilbao and San Sebastián and opens the possibility of joining others who want to join.
The Delegation of the CSIC in Asturias, to which the representations of Cantabria and the Basque Country are associated, has, as its purpose, the organization of scientific culture and technology transfer activities in collaboration with the rest of the Communities. The idea of Sphere CSIC North aims to unite collaborative impulses between all the centers in the Atlantic-Cantabrian axis. From the CSIC, it is already participating in the INTERREG Atlantic axis and they want to lead initiatives that enhance research, business and society.
This joint work between the CSIC Delegations in these communities and the Chambers of Commerce, will favor meetings between entrepreneurs from different sectors and researchers of the Council, offering a “contact puzzle” that will be articulated in activities of Scientific Culture, Technology Transfer and creation of new synergies science-company.
To do this, on October 25, a conference will be organized at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of Cantabria, under the title “Improve health through our data. New challenge for the future ”in which forums or meetings will be held during the morning, which will be attended by researchers and entrepreneurs and activities of scientific dissemination, in the afternoon, aimed at the general public.
